This term appears in various Old Testament passages, such as Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek word "pharagx" refers to a deep, narrow valley or gorge, often with steep sides. It is used to describe a natural feature of the landscape that is characterized by its depth and narrowness, typically formed by the erosive activity of water over time.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, ravines and gorges were significant geographical features that influenced travel, settlement, and military strategy. They often served as natural barriers or routes, depending on their accessibility. In biblical times, these features were also seen as places of refuge or danger, depending on the context. The imagery of a ravine could evoke thoughts of protection, isolation, or peril.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a chasm, ravine<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ravine (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5327: φάραγξ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">φάραγξ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">φάραγγος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, a valley shut in by cliffs and precipices; <span class="accented">a ravine</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/3-5.htm">Luke 3:5</a>.
